Chlorine treatment for controlling algae, and/ or other organic buildup in drip tubing and emitters.

Chlorine is an effective treatment to kill or control algae and other organic buildup and is commonly used as an additive in municipal drinking water, swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. In small quantities there is minimal harm to humans, animals or plants. Quantities of chlorine exceeding 50ppm (parts per million) are toxic to plants, so reasonable care should be taken in how chlorine is used.
